Chapter 424 Infection Leakage
"Shouldn't people infected with the zombie virus uncontrollably want to bite others? Why are these people hiding?"
The little spider roams through the sewers beneath New York City, shining its green light ring through every dark corner.
"Maybe they're afraid of Superman too? I think Superman is pretty kind~"
After talking for a while without getting a response, the oppressive atmosphere and cramped environment made the little spider, who had been talking to himself, feel a chill: "Uh~ given our current situation, do you think we're like extras who are there from the very beginning in a zombie horror movie?"
Is it the kind of super-powerful team-wiping engine that gets bitten at the perfect time and place, gets infected, and then drags its infected body back to its base to detonate the virus and wipe out the entire team?
I'm begging you.
Traveling with Spider-Man, Zhang Parker, who had been ignoring the talkative Spider-Man the whole time, finally couldn't take it anymore: "Stop your wild imaginations about zombie movies, and stop jinxing me!"
He was already miserable enough being assigned to investigate the sewers, but then they had to pair him with a super chatterbox. Who could be happy about that?
"We have spider-sense, and you have the green light, how could you possibly get bitten?"
What's more, this guy always picks on the bad things; can't he say something nice?
Thinking of this, Zhang Parker frowned. Why did he say "again"?
However, his quick-thinking nature soon banished this question from his mind, and instead, he found a glimmer of inspiration in the little spider's unlucky remark: "Right, what did you just say? Repeat it again?"
"Uh, the engine that wipes out the entire team?"
"No, a little further forward!"
"Bring the virus back to headquarters?"
"Yes, that's it!"
Zhang Parker felt he had found the key, and he no longer had to wander around this green light bulb in this stinky basement!
"Think carefully, Parker, what are the identities of these escaped zombies?"
"Uh—a dead person?"
"No!" Upon hearing this answer, Zhang Parker became almost frantic: "It's their identity in life! They were agents, Hydra agents!"
Hydra agents, still carrying memories of their past lives, want to have some fun under Superman's watchful eye. So, are there any victims who are within easy reach yet so well hidden that they will never be discovered?
some.
For example, their Hydra colleagues.
Even if Zhang Parker put himself in that shoes, he knew just how easily a Hydra agent with memories of his past life could deceive his colleagues.
They were lying in wait, and who knows how far they've already spread their reverse infection within Hydra!
After the two got their ideas working, they wrote a short message and quickly sent it to the Spider Legion's internal network.
The Spider-Men in the discussion group immediately erupted in discussion: "Yeah, that makes sense!"
"Have we stumbled into some kind of third-rate, blood-soaked movie loop hell?!"
It's no wonder that Spider-Man and his crew are complaining so much; after all, the classic combination of Nazis and zombies is just too cliché.
The moment Tony heard the news, he was already red-faced: "WTF?!"
"We're in trouble!"
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. is a rather laughable organization, and almost all of its efforts over the past few decades have benefited Hydra, this does not mean that S.H.I.E.L.D. itself is not dangerous.
Especially in this situation.
This seemingly comical organization controls almost all of the supernatural resources in the underworld of Europe and North America since Hydra ceased its activities, and contains countless alien technologies of unknown use.
The word "useless" only applies to people like Tony and Superman. In another situation, they might not necessarily be useless.
thump~
No sooner had Tony finished speaking than Joey, who was observing from near-Earth orbit, smashed through the rooftop ceiling and landed in front of Tony, who was in the lab: "Tell everyone, by any means necessary, ascend immediately!"
"What?"
"never mind!"
Joey's face was ashen, and in an instant he began to act: "I'll do it myself!"
With Tony's eyesight, he could only see a red band of light flashing in his laboratory. The Kryptonian speed at that moment stirred up a whirlwind, blowing away countless papers in the laboratory.
Within minutes, everyone except the Spider Lantern Group had gathered in the laboratory.
"What happened?!"
Unaware of the truth, the Human Torch was in a bar kissing a girl when Superman suddenly switched places with him, causing him to bite into the water dispenser.
After the beauty he was about to win slipped away, Thunderbolt, who had spent the entire night at the bar, turned around in dissatisfaction and muttered, "What the hell—"
"Quiet!"
Joey's shout startled the drunken Human Torch sober. He turned around and saw the other three members of the Fantastic Four, his sister, brother-in-law, and the Thing already there.
Batman, Iron Man, Dr. Banner, and even Captain America, who had never previously been involved in the core affairs of the group, were all on the list.
Joey's figure flashed, and to ensure stability, he even dragged along Black Widow and Hawkeye, who seemed to be of little use.
There are even Sandman and Luke Cage, who were originally on the list of Avengers candidates.
"Batman, activate the barrier."
Although Batman didn't understand what Joey meant, he still held the Green Lantern Ring and projected a barrier of will that enveloped everyone.
Among those present were those with keen intuition, such as Captain America or Hawkeye, who instantly felt their hairs stand on end.
But for someone like Tony, who completely understands what's going on, it's like Superman using his high-powered vision to see through everyone.
He knew that Superman had this ability, but he also knew that the other party was a person who respected other people's privacy. Why was he so unscrupulous now?
What exactly happened?
"Achoo!" Still half-asleep, Human Torch sensed the temperature around him had suddenly dropped, so he lashed out at the building's resident: "Stark, is the central air conditioning in your building set too high?!"
"It's autumn, you idiot, nobody's going to turn on the refrigeration!"
Despite saying that, Tony still took the opportunity to check the building's central air conditioning system, only to find that the entire system had stopped working, with the error message stating that "extremely low temperatures in some areas."
The cold air was concentrated in the lower half of Stark Tower, so Tony pushed his office chair back to the window, looked down, and immediately discovered the source of the chill—
The lower half of New York City was already completely frozen over.
The city, which was still bustling at dusk, was put on pause at this moment.
He looked at Superman—
"Is the situation serious?"
Only Superman could accomplish such a large scale and such speed in the blink of an eye.
"Yes, it's very serious."
Joey, who had frozen the entire city of New York with his cryogenic breathing, turned around and pointed to several densely populated areas: "It's more serious than we ever imagined."
A nanoscale viral aerosol is spreading upwards from New York's underground water network.
Moreover, it didn't start after Joey woke up; all of this had already happened long before.
In other words, in the past two or three hours, any living creature on the ground in New York City that has been breathing could be at risk of infection at any time.
As for what exactly this aerosol virus that is spreading everywhere is?
Joey doesn't know yet.
However, considering the news that several zombie-like Hydra agents have vanished without a trace, it's hard not to imagine the worst.
It may already be too late.
Joey found it hard to believe that while she was unconscious, the people who were supposed to be in charge of cleaning up the mess did absolutely nothing!
